Nando's also runs a full-service restaurant on Northcote Road, a short walk away from its new Clapham site. It may look to use the Nino's location to take pressure off the kitchen to meet delivery demand, as well as capturing footfall around Clapham Junction station.

Nando’s opened its first UK restaurant in Ealing in 1992 and now operates around 400 sites across the country.
